Snippets after seemingly an overly charged General Elections

I never really fully connect with the whole charged environment about elections with different political parties trying to rile up the people. Like you feel that people are not happy with the current incumbent and that it feels like the masses would rather have popular policies right now and to forgo the future. Also, like based on the rally turnouts and the comments online that it feels that the PAP has lost the middle income group of the populations. I personally don't feel like the current group of ministers are that bad or rather it felt like this group were more on the ground then previous governments ; it might be a generational thing I don't know so when I hear or see such comments online, it was pretty alarming to me.

Even though I don't stay at Punggol but hearing good stuffs about Sun Xue Ling and of course if DPM Gan is really that important, I don't think it's worth sacrificing these 2 for additional 4 opposition voices but well weirder things have happened in the world, so one never knows. As the time goes by, it kinda dawn on to me that since I have no control over what goes on there, in the end, regardless whether this election turns either direction, its up to myself to figure a way out to survive and thrive in such a society. Of course if my ideal scenario plays out, then its good but if the worst case scenario plays out, then its up to myself to adapt and survive. I feel that maybe in life in general, I should be more confident about my skills and adaptability. I will also free up more mental space in my mind and not be in a constant flight or fly phase.

Of course, in the end, the silent majority is still happy with the current incumbent and unlike other countries, whatever we hear on the street or online or rallies, it doesn't translate to votes. 

A lot of times, during past elections or when things don't really end up as what I had hope, I always will think that the worst thing has happened and that I should double down and be more wary about each turns and twists going forward. Or maybe I will feel that I need to just look elsewhere and give up hope on whatever current plans that we have.
